this is ronald reagan's economic advisor. he says the ryan plan is a monstrosity. the rich would receive huge tax cuts while the others would be shredded to take care of them. how far do you think they would get today with that kind of a statement? again, the ryan budget would rip up that source of a contract, replace it with a sort of survival of the fittest, winner take all. it's sort of a tough luck, you're on your own. if you're wealthy, life in the right circumstances, you're okay. or if you win the lottery, god bless you, you're okay if you win the lottery. but otherwise tough luck, you're on your own. i agree with what president clinton said last week when he said there are two competing philosophies here. one is the romney-ryan budget philosophy of you're on your own. the other philosophy is what i think we have been proposing, and that is that we're all better off when it's a -- we're all in it together philosophy. and, again, the ryan budget, the romney-ryan budget is a blueprint for what where they want to take america. this is not just some phony little

sessions yes we draw different conclusions in the ronald reagan administration we followed the policies that were not changed because reagan wouldn't change them. we did have the '86 tax reform which was the only real tax reform. we did e. eliminate some loopholes and frankly we made some people pay more as a deductive consumer debt in 86. so i tell you my friend that my experience in 31 years has been that it worked for whatever reasons and the theory and 81 and 21 and 2003 didn't. the deficits did explode with 16 million new jobs so that we did have a positive job growth under of reagan of the 22 million because the economy had grown under clinton so that we could argue all these facts and perspectives but the bottom line is this and i will repeat we would have agreement. the american people know we have agreement. you don't want to. i don't want to. at least in this setting anybody of to to enter the $50,000 or 200,000 single pay any more taxes. why? because i want them to have the availability to grow the economy and grow jobs which you talk about. we had the opportunity to do that.
